A unique entertainment will be provided for the Summer School on Monday evening, July 31, when the Jitney Players camp in the Yard in front of Widener to give Bernard Shaw's "Arms and the Man." The stage truck forms the little theatre and the truck drivers, mechanics, wardrobe mistresses, and canvas men, serve as actors and actresses.

Tickets will go on sale at the Summer School Office in Sever Hall on Wednesday July 26. Admission is fifty cents. In case of inclement weather the stage in Sanders Theatre will be used.
